It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!

I prefer goal-orientation along with "work on this goal until it gels and don't look, at the clock", but that isn't always practical. I freelance, work comes unexpectedly, unpredictably. Sometimes I'll have 15 hour days (nights). On thos

Handel was big into double dotted performance style, even though the music is marked single dots. Have fun playing with the interpretation. Hard to beat the clarity of the harpsichord. Glad you are enjoying the Handel using that sound. Isn't it int

I have been holding out for a 73 key keyboard that has a more realistic feel while also being lighter weight. I believe that keyboard would be the Nord Piano 3 - 73 key keyboard. However there is a catch. Nord only makes the Nord Piano 3 with 88 k

In addition to the digital capability, I am also very impressed with the audio on my iPad pro. I use it for signal generation - the app I use disables the filters and allows an absolutely flat audio output from 20Hz to 21kHz at a vanishingly small T

Right now I am working on the Suite in G Major (HWV 441). I have a relatively good digital piano (Privia 850) and it is interesting and really enjoyable to play it on the harpsichord setting. No dynamics, so you have to rely on other methods of artic

Play something simple with the right hand, like a 5-finger pentascale going up, then mirror it in the left hand by playing a 5-finger pentascale going down. Make the left hand feel like the right hand while playing. If it feels different, see if you

10. Kris Shendo - Cattle Call, Opus 17, No.22 I think that Grieg is one of the "forgotten" composers of these recitals. I mean, there are several contributions of his music at recitals but I think he should be more played. Look at this pie

Keystring - you are using audacity. Try this. Record a short segment of music, a scale, whatever, into audacity using the setup you have. Left Click on "Audio Track", select "split stereo tracks". You will now have two independe

Assuming this VPC1 is being offered in the US, use caution with both eBay and PayPal. Neither is close to "bullet-proof". You can find plenty of damage-return nightmare stories on the internet. eBay and PayPal's revenues are driven by vol

When I memorize something, I know that if I cannot hear it play back in my head, I cannot play it. My teacher had me do an exercise where I slowed the piece down so much that it no longer sounded correct in my head - and my memory failed at that poin

The stereo separation of the CA 97 sound (bass on the left, treble on the right) is very noticeable with headphones. So I would start at the beginning: Connect your headphones and try if you can hear that the sound of the lowest key comes more from

Finally got around to starting to shop for an acoustic piano. I particularly enjoyed hearing and sorta playing a Schimmel K125 upright. It had such a strong and clear bass register compared to a C120 sitting next to it. Of course it was kinda pric

In the second ending, it makes some sense. That ending, in effect, starts a turnaround, aborts it, and starts it over again. The Eb7 served the function of getting you back to the tonic to start the turnaround again. That, however, doesn't expla

02. MeganR - Sonatina in G Playing Beethoven after only 20 months of experience is something I could not achieve... So, I've to congratulate you by this two movements. You really know what you're doing. Nice nice nice. 40. noobpianist90 - Waltz in
